If Marvin had decided he was willing to stay for the final year of his deal, do you think Mike would've said no? I don't. Mike retained Marvin after that playoff debacle against the Steelers and allowed him to stick around for 3 straight losing seasons. He was in no hurry to get rid of Marvin. 

The vets who are speaking out aren't Taylor's guys. They are remnants of the previous regime. Not only that, but Mike doesn't like players speaking out. That will make him side with and defend the coach even more. You always have to account for the 'Mike factor' with these things, because it's always there.

BTW, I hope it doesn't sound like I'm defending Zac. I'm not sold on him at all. I just think the front office has invested so much in him and bought so much into his plan, that they will stick it out at least into next season.

I don't believe for a second Mike fired Marvin. 

Marvin enters office "Mike I've had enough"

Mike " you sure dawg" ?

Marvin "yes I'm sure"

Mike "you wanna think about it"

Marvin "no"

Mike "are you really sure, sure" ?

Marvin "yes"

Mike "well if you change your mind over next couple months just let me know"
